    Wow! What a leader!

    Bernie Sanders: Median income would soar and poverty would fall under Democrat policies, study finds | US elections | News | The Independent

    Average family income would jump by $22,000 per year and unemployment would fall to 3.8 per cent if Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is elected as president, a new study has found.

    The report, carried out by Gerald Friedman, an economics professor at University of Massachusetts Amherst, found that 26 million jobs would be created under Mr Sanders, and poverty would drop to 6 per cent, instead of 13.9 per cent, as forecasted by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).

    The findings on Mr Sanders’ spending and tax proposals, given to CNNMoney, also reveal that the US economy would grow by 5.3 per cent per year under Mr Sanders rather than the CBO’s projected 2.1 per cent.
    Fantastic! Based on realities of leftist leaders I'd have thought sticking a minus in front of some of those figures would provide a more accurate "study" and that there would soon be an acute shortage of toilet paper but I could be wrong.
